Hey girls here's the new thread

Hey ladies,

Hav not been on because DP's sister was visiting us.
AF showed up on Sunday, but never amounted to anything - just a bit of dark blood - sorry. Not had ything since. Am I being mad to expect anything other than another mammoth cycle?? What is going on??

Seany - hopefully your break will do you good, and you'll come back refreshed

Kaylo · 26/06/2009 20:54

Thought I'd add in as well. There will be no 2ww for me until September...still!!! Even after all the progress I thought we'd made

But never mind, if I keep thinking that it''s only 2 more AF's away it doesn't sound so bad.

Sorry for random add-on heehee

Kaylo · 26/06/2009 20:29

errrrr??????? now who is a sillybilly for pressing post instead of preview

as I was saying....lol

joy hoping everything is well with you!

Hey Ladies,

seany I'm so sorry about the result, hope you're ok hun .
Having a break could be the answer maybe, relax about the whole thing and who knows...mother nature might look upon you and think "yep...it's time!" . TTC can wait a while until you're ready to start again, you don't wanna make yourself ill over it ( like silly me!) cos its crap! And people think it's silly grrr
Am gonna miss you honey but am also looking forward to seeing you on here again.

bubble fantastic news on the swimmer count...fingers crossed you won't be seeing AF for too much longer.

joy

Thanks girls,

joy hope everything continues going well and i think you're right about the break, i'll miss all you lovely ladies though.

That's great news bubble, hopefully it will give you a bit of a boost to keep plugging on.

Seany, sorry you are having a difficult time. A break might be just what you need. Best of luck if you do decide to have a breather- we'll miss you on this thread though!

Bubblebell1 · 26/06/2009 10:58

seany im so sorry that you didnt get the answer you wanted. I have been in your position and its not nice. I think that perhaps you didnt ovulate this cycle and you have to now wait for either ovulation or a bleed.

good luck with all your tests and i will miss ya.

Dhs sperm test results came back (wed pm). i asked the receptionist for the levels like normal and i googled them... then i paniced as some of the levels were on the low side. then dr phoned yesterday and said that all is fine as he has a high sperm count and it evens it all out. i am relieved and just hoping the clomid worked this month

Morning everyone,

My blood test came back negative . Providing af has not showed up by monday I have to go back to doctors for a smear test and an internal examination (not looking forward to that).

Im just feeling so fed up and hopeless at the minute. I think I will take a wee break from it all because it is getting on top of me and i don't like feeling like this.

Thanks for sending me 's kaylo , i hope your 2ww goes quickly and that you get a bfp at the end of it all.

Bubble i hope this is your lucky month, keep your chin up chick x

I will check back now and again to see how you are all getting on.

Take care xxxxxxx

Whitty hope the 2ww goes quickly and brings good news

Suzi Glad everythings going well

Am hoping to go BD tonight and next week as am due to ovulate on Monday(ish) so hopefully I also will be on the 2ww soon, finally!!

morning girls,

how is everyone this morning?

well still no sign of af so i went to the docs this morning and have to ring tomorrow for results. Haven't even had any spotting or anything this month and i have had for the past 3 cycles The things our bodies do to confuse us!!

OP posts:
SuziBhoy · 24/06/2009 15:46

Hey seany Im feeling good and very positive for a change!! Im just hoping everythings progressing the way it should be!! hope af stays away for good reasons!!!

seanybosmummy · 24/06/2009 13:26

Hi everyone,

awww bubble i know how you feel, but please try not to give up hope xxxxx
Im glad your side effects have disappeared,though im hoping you wont get the chance to get any next cycle

Well af is now 4 days late, and still no sign of her arriving. Have to go to docs tomorrow for blood test to check for hcg but lets face it i prob dont have a hope in hell so im just taking it one day at a time now.

How are you feeling suzi?

OP posts:
Bubblebell1 · 24/06/2009 10:47

suzi how long did it take for the results to come back?

I feel fine now. thankfully the side effects have diminished and im just a mierable cow all by my self.
Ive had some cramping and think i ovd at some point over the weekend but i wont know til next week when ive had the progesterone tests.

SuziBhoy · 24/06/2009 09:11

hey bubble hope this cycle is the one!! So how do u feel in yourself... do u feel any different since being on clomid or have the side affects subsided?

When my dp got his sperm tested the gp actually phoned me and gave me the results... on the same day i found out i was pg ha

Bubblebell1 · 24/06/2009 09:04

Morning girls,

How are you all?

Still feeling pretty dispondant about ttc but i know deep down i really do want another baby. I feel frustrated that im still waiting around when both times before i was PG so quickly.

Prob exactly the same for you girls so i will shut my moany trap now

Its day 19 and i have decided to go for my day 21 test on day 22. I suppose to give me that extra time to get a nice high progesterone level. So i guess the results from that will determine wether its worth me holding out for a BFP this month.
Still not had DHs sperm test results back tho.

XxX

whittywantababy6 · 23/06/2009 12:42

The only way I have resisted is because...I have stayed off of here...and off of google. The good thing I can only say is I have had 30 days of high temperatures....and 3 days of spotting...

So I try to stay positive and now that my LOVE is back I BD every chance I have he came back just in time for ovulation this month...so excited...

seany I hope your test brings us good luck..and you get a fabulous BFP...

as for everyone else I hope things brighten up...keep your chin held high...

seanybosmummy · 23/06/2009 09:28

yay!! im so glad everyone has resurfaced! Though im really sad to hear a lot of us are feeling like shit

joy thats fantastic!!!

ant so glad your cycles seem to returning to normality (whatever that seems to be,no-one knows!)

Kaylo i hope you feel better soon, im sorry your dh isnt being very understanding-he is a man and he prob just doesn't know how to cope with all the things that are happening for you at the minute. I hope things work out for you

Whitty how have you resisted this long?????!! Im hoping you get your bfp really soon!

Bubble im ok thanks. Went to docs yesterday and he agrees that the progesterone test was prob done too early which was why level was so low. Af has still not showed up so i have to go back on thur and get another blood test to check if im pg. I will get results on friday and if im pg then HAPPY DAYS, but if not then i've to go on monday for an internal examination and a smear. And if af does show up before then, then i've to go when it disappears for the internal and smear. Either way im getting someone sticking their hand up my doo da lol
How are you doing? I understand why you're feeling the way you are but try not to give up hope xx

lou how are you feeling today?

whittywantababy6 · 23/06/2009 02:51

Hey ladies I missed you all...I havent tested...Im playing the waiting game...Im getting ready to ovulate if Im not pregnant...but I have gained like 2lbs this month...my arms are getting kind of big...guess its all the eating while depressed and lonely...anywho...I'm trying to wait as long as possible to test...Im so tired of being disapointed this is now my 7th cycle...ugh I thought i would have succeeded by now..

Anywho I have a lot of cathcing up to do being as though I was gone on a holiday...but I hope everyone is well...

SuziBhoy · 23/06/2009 00:44

thanks seany.. im feeling less stressed now so i dont think this week will be as much torture as it was before!! hope you get some answers soon x

joy glad to hear your scan reassured you, you must be pleased!

Ant sorry af showed... the cycle before i fell pg was a 28 dayer and i never got that kind of cycle before, so heres hoping you cycles are on side

bubble sorry your feeling like this, dont give up.. it will happen..

Kaylo · 22/06/2009 22:59

Nooooo...Bubble, don't do it!!

Hi Everyone

I'm sorry I'm not around much lately, things seem to be getting harder around here, don't know if it's my current health status (cos dh is NOT being supportive at all and just wants me back at work ) or if it's things just getting crazy. Or both I guess...

Anyway - I'm glad to hear everyone is well and sickness has gone ant

keep trying seany wagons of babydust comingatcha

joy I think your bean is a boy - already being a little monkey hope he/she settles down soon for you so you can enjoy everything.

fantastic news suzi - glad things are going well for you and your pregnancy

lou - chin up honey, sending you smiles, hugs and optimism

I promise I will try to log-on more often to see you all, concentrating on getting better tho as desperate to start ttc properly and dh won't entertain the idea while I'm classed as clinically depressed (but maybe ttc and wanting a baby so much is causing/aggravating it??? - just a theory of mine.)

Big Hugs to you all -

Bubblebell1 · 22/06/2009 19:43

Hey all!

ant im glad your feeling better now. good news re AF! hopefully your cycle has settled down and you get your BFP soon.

joy lovely to hear from you again. How was your holiday? where did you go?
Glad you saw your lil beans HB! when u due??

seany how are you babe? hope your ok and get some answers from dr soon.

I got a + opk sat but decided to just stick to the everyother day rule. (dr said its best to do that til we get dhs sperm test results) so have been getting busy on days 11,13,15 and 17. TBH im getting F*^%ed off with ttc and i think i mite jack it in...

XxX

Antdamm · 22/06/2009 16:19

Hello ladies,

Finally my sickness passed. I felt like I was dying, DP said I had man flu
But now I'm back to my old self.

Suzi - I'm glad things are looking good now.
Joy - Glad to hear your scan brought great news.
Seany - sorry to hear your doc is an idiot and not helping you out. Hope you get some answers soon.
Bubble - how are things with you?

Well, AF showed up yesterday but on the plus side, it was a 28dayer yay! So' I'm hoping (or rather not) that she will be coming on time from now on.

Joy27 · 22/06/2009 13:47

Hi girls,

I've been on hols so haven't been around. Sorry to see there haven't been any more bfps- but I'm sure someone will get one soon!

Seany I know how you feel re not getting hopes up when you are getting pg symptoms. But also remember that it ain't over til it's over. Re hurty nipple thing- aren't our bodies weird? I've only got those little bumpy things that you get in pregnancy on one nip.

Suzi I'm so glad everything is looking good with your pregnancy. What a worrying time you've been having.

As for me, I had another bleed at the weekend- cue much panicking- but a scan this morning showed my little bean pulsating away at 7w+ and 11mm long. Very very relieved. Would like it to settle down now and stop making me bleed/worry!

How is everyone?

seanybosmummy · 22/06/2009 09:23

Morning girls!

Awww thats brilliant news suzi!!! the next 9 days will probably be torture for you, but i am positive that this little bean is def meant to be

Af has still not showed up arrrggghhhh
Have docs app this afternoon to discuss what happens next.

I tested this morning but got bfn so i know i am not pg. Dont know if i mentioned this but i actually got the progesterone test done on cd23 and as the level was only at 2 it is prob really doubtful that it was done too early and i had late ov. Im confused, don't know what to think.

I know that af is def on her way as my bbs are still really heavy, one of my nipples is killing me (eh?), and im getting sporadic cramps. Also i have been dog tired (i know these are classic pg symptoms but im not kidding myself, i know how my body likes to play tricks on me).

So i guess its just hanging around waiting for af to show up, and then onwards and upwards for me..

How is everyone else this morning?
